These gorgeous Indian Queer Instagram Accounts are raising their voice for LGBTQ Community!

The Indian LGBTQ community has all the spotlight after the Supreme Court of India legalized section 377. Well, that was one proud and historic moment for the country. While there still are many people in India who do not accept the queer people. The community has found a way to raise their voice and reach out to people to spread awareness.

Social media has emerged as one of the best tools for people to share their lives, and especially for the Indian LGBTQ community. Instagram is one such safe space where you can find amazing queer artwork and accounts of people who are a real inspiration.
